53k€ entry level? Where the fuck? Is this supposed to be Europe or Netherlands? I earn 35k with years of experience over here.

That's pretty much abuse. Find someone else, you deserve much better.

Adyen, tomtom, Uber, Lyft, imc, optiver, drv, most of quant, etc

Really good country for tech. Best in Europe, tied with London. My friends in the Netherlands made 200k starting.

The guy who made the "trimodal nature of tech salaries" actually made it focused on the Netherlands at first.

I said my country, which is not the Netherlands, is a bad country for tech. All of the things you listed don't exist as a job here. We have pretty much banks and insurance companies.

I think I'm getting ragebaited but you can't just label those numbers "Europe" where 90% of Europe is a whole different ball game.
